Newbie setting up dev env issue with meson and glib

Hello,

I am new to the forum, and to gimp/gnome code base. I am running into some
issues when trying to build glib, I keep getting the following error:
opo@sucia:~/gnome/glib$ meson _build --prefix=$PREFIX
The Meson build system
Version: 0.29.0
Source dir: /home/opo/gnome/glib
Build dir: /home/opo/gnome/glib/_build
Build type: native build

Meson encountered an error in file meson_options.txt, line 22, column 0:
Unknown type feature.
This is when trying to build glib from source (master branch from git).
